Question
A 5-year-old girl had a normal day but suddenly developed a fever at night, followed by rashes. How should she be handled?
Answer
There is no need to worry in this situation. Make sure the child drinks plenty of water, and maintain a light and bland diet, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, or irritant foods. If there are itching symptoms, oral loratadine syrup can be considered. Usually, the condition will resolve itself within about 3 days. Since different symptoms can be caused by different causes, patients should seek medical examination and treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible. In addition, maintain regular work and rest , keep warm and prevent colds, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water.
